Figure in the $20k to $50k range, if you're lucky; less when first starting out. nm

Love 'em! They're my MT home (sm)
for the rest of my career I hope. I've been there 2 years and I cannot say enough good about the owners and the way they run the company. Plenty of work, pay never late, and I have never felt like an anonymous number on an employee roster there. If you have any specific questions, please feel free to e me @ ustshelby@hotmail.com and I'll try to help.
If you get sent home in a week, you're lucky, SM
I considered applying for an MT home-based job for a local hospital in my town. They wanted me to work in-house 8-5 for FOUR TO SIX MONTHS, even though I have 10+ years of experience and worked there several years ago, so was familiar with the docs. No thanks, especially with 2 kids at home that would need day care to the tune of $750 or so per month. I passed (the money wasn't great anyhow, but the insurance was pretty decent).

I do hear that in some parts of the country, there are still some good home-based jobs. Unfortunately, more and more hospitals seem to be either going the ASR route or outsourcing.
OMG, that's wild to hear you say that.
I wasn't asked bank info, but she emailed me from a post on this board and said if I was interested in work there, forward a resume to her. Her email was in all lowercase and I never got another reply from her, so I was suspicious too. It seemed odd that someone representing an MT service would format an email in that manner. I also emailed the company directly but heard nothing. However, since then, I have seen her name on ads for the company so she must be legit. It was all kinda weird, though, I agree!
Just a wild guess
but do you suppose Naveen is recruiting for an offshore company? I'm probably guilty of profiling, but when I see an ad posted by Naveen or Parminder or Sujatha or Abhinava or Gaurav, I start to wonder.
That's a pretty wild rumor to be
circulating. 
I use Wild Blue, no problems here but the companies I work for use FTP

On the West Coast
I heard the term typing monkeys, too. Wouldn't surprise me if it were used all throughout the company, they had so little respect for us. I just thought it was an LA thing, but evidently not.
MTS Services (not in West MA)
Hello all.  I run a small transcription service.  I am sometimes overwhelmed by the amount of responses and resumes I get all at once!  I am truly apologetic that I am not able to get back to all of you in a more timely manner.  If you ever have questions about who we are and what we do, please feel free to email any time!  I am a MT as well so I have been there done that.  I understand all the probs and things that go with being a MT.  - Mark
I thought it came from the old West, when
to the white men, and then a few months later, came around in the middle of the night and stole them back to be re-sold to someone else.
Is this ESL account on the west coast? nm

In the early days, MedQuist said working at home was a benefit, therefore at-home sm
employees did not receive as many benefits as those working in-house.  As I believe, it was something like at-home employees got 3 days off a year versus 10 days for the in-office employees -- WHAT?!!!  I told them it made no sense to me, since by working at home I was saving them money -- no need to provide office space, equipment, references, utilities, etc. -- yet I get shafted.  I was only part-time when they took over the previous company with their great policies, and I told them to kiss where I can't. 
Because of their location on the west side of the Hudson,
expecially if you have to pay the per minute fee just to call the other side of that stickin' river! I never understood the phone company's rationale in that rip off!
? I think saying west coasts accts are all scary sm
is an overreaction. I've seen Florida, Texas and other accounts that were horrendous. 60% ESL estimate is really not bad at all.
I worked for L&H out of West Palm Beach
and I really miss them.  They were the best company I ever worked for in this business, treated us fairly and with respect.  I worked for MQ when I first started out working at home in about 1995 and didn't stay with them long.  I was so heartbroken when MQ acquired L&H and left shortly after. 
It is a West Coast account. Rather not mention names. nm

She and her husband run the account. 


Where in Michigan? North, south, east, or west? Other clues? nm

JLG pay range?

I have a telephone interview on Monday with JLG.  I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what the telephone interview consists of and maybe the pay range (I know an exact pay cannot be given since it's based on individual factors). 


Thanks!


i believe range is 9-11 cpl.

I don't know that they have a range. They
asked me how much I wanted, I said, and they said they could do that.  More than 8 cpl and there is a shift differential. 
Pay range, per line, MDI
Can anyone out there share this information?  What determines there line; 65 with or without spaces and the pay range for this.  Is there platform productive?  Thanks.
I have been looking at four companies that range from sm
$1.00 per report plus .50 for each link to 1.35 per report but links are not paid. The average seems to be $1.10 or so. It is still good money when you think about it. I type 15-20 reports an hour, so even at $1.10 I make more than the hourly at most hospitals and I don't have to leave my house.

Do you happen to know their pay range? nm

No one makes $0.07. The range is sm
.08 to 0.105, usually starting around 0.085 or 0.09.
I made in the range of $50,000.00
I have some of my own accounts and do very low volume for an online company that I started the end of last year just to get some experience online.  I think if you have the experience and the dedication, you can easily make $50,000.00 per year doing transcription.  I wouldn't know about working for nationals though because I only tried one, and I did not like the platform.  It was not productive.  I can see where someone putting in 40 hours and working on a platform they like as an employee and receiving incentives could make $45,000.00.  I do not think that is unreachable, I just don't do nationals or acute care.  Maybe acute care pays more, I'm not sure????? 
I also make in the $30 range at KS
NM.
It should be though. A company can have a pay range, but
they can also pay someone more than the range.  If the pay range is usually 8 cpl and I get 10 I'm not going to discuss that with another MT because then they will ask for more money or say so and so makes 10 cpl they can't I have more than 8.   The only person I discuss my pay with is DH.  
Transtech QA Pay range
Can some very kind TT QA person (or anyone who knows) email me with the 'range' of pay for QA - third shift? Thanks so much.
Oracle pay, anybody know the range?
just curious what a good pay is with this company.
I had a QA person tell me she was in the 350 range
when she was typing and before she moved into QA.  I've only gone up to 300 on occasion and that's on an account with templates.  Straight typing I'm more in line with the OP in the 200 to 250 range.  I keep trying, though.  Like the rest of you, I find if I go too fast, then stupid mistakes come through.
QA Pay Range for Hourly?
Hi,
Looking for input on hourly range of pay for doing QA, say for a job where you are full time and get most if not all of a standard benefit package.
Thanks,
Dave

Can you give an approximate pay range? Thanks! nm

Editing rates of pay range from about 4 to 6 cpl.
Unless you go to work for a different company there shouldn't be much of a learning curve, but any different company that you go to work for is going to have a learning curve because that's just part of starting a new job. I don't think anyone should be compensated any more for training and it's a darn good motivator to get the ball rollin.
At least give me a range, 7-9 cpl okay, we will keep talking. 3-4 cpl no need to go further. I
:P
Depends on the account I think. The range is $1.05-$1.50. sm
I average 22 reports an hour.
Any idea what the rate range is for
nm
she asked about pay range, not about opinions
nm
I make much more than $17 an hour, more in the $30 range. sm
You sold yourself short. Did you pass their test?

Things that are good are sometimes worth waiting for. Why do you call it BS when you know nothing about the company other than you applied? Geesh. This must be Keystroke's week to be bashed. Who is next week?
If you have a good range of dictators...sm
I do radiology and acute care for a facility.  There are some doctors I am glad I get paid by minute and there are some that I wish I was not so it all equals out.  I read an article some time back about being paid by the minute of dictation is really the more fair way for Transcriptionist to be paid.  I have 3-4 docs that I speed up so I do their lines in half the time but still get paid for the whole time.  It works for me. 
Does anyone know the pay range for decent companies,

including VR.  Guess I have to bite the bullet and learn how to do it, but would lke to be paid a decent line rate.  I am experienced.


Thanks in advance.
